Well, I've got to say I'm seriously surprised that the announcement time info hasn't become public from another direction by now. I've had someone else fairly random get in touch to tell me the same details, too.

I've just had someone on twitter tell me that I 'clearly know nothing'. 

Who knows, they might even be right.

As I've said, I only find out for certain if it happens at the time that's been said to me ... tho i do think it's most probably right.

Why haven't I said when? Because about a minute after i said it'd be all over the somerset papers, and about another 5 before it hit the tabloids.

It's better as a surprise.

As long as it's a today surprise.....

[The Placid Casual]

1 hour guys.

[Badlands]

Sorry to be one of those... but are we expecting it tonight? 

[simian_mobile_mushrooms]

Other Stage headliner - Saturday night please. NIN, Chemical Bros, Pendulum/Knife Party, Greenday, Depeche Mode, Pixies, or someone like that. Wouldn't mind any of them but someone to give me a thought about the Jacksons. Cheers Eavii, thanks

Now it's 5pm are we ready to start the speculatory countdowns until the "by yer beds" tweet drops?

 

I'm going for 5:30

If it's not happened by 7.30pm then that would be it for today imo. Not that a 2.5 hour wait makes things any better

[Wellyboot]

Right its gotta be 6 then surely?

[Untz]

I am now at home with red wine and cheese balls, ready for whatever the night might bring.

I'd say the same.

It seems like green day could be pretty likely because of the "mistake" the BBC had in its article confirming the foos.

 

Edit: for Sunday though against ed

Big chance I would think with their 50th comeback.

It's the act I'm most anticipating 

Paul said it's unlikely.

[42hamlet]

What album should I listen to on my way home from work to get me in an announcement mood?

 

(as if I haven't been frothing for an announcement for days now) 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

They've really drummed up interest in the announcement this year. Apart from the odd small self-confirmation they've managed to keep most acts under wraps and cranked the anticipation to fever pitch. I don't remember it being so anticipated in past years. Exciting, yes, but not like this. Ahead of the fallow year they've nailed the PR this time round

That's it, then. It must be today. Surely. 

Just waiting on the eFests tweet now. Please let it be 6 and not 7. I don't think I can hold on for more than another hour. 

[Mattty]

In case this is helpful, you can only schedule tweets on every 15 minutes. E.g. 5:15, 5:30 etc. 

Reckon the tweet will be 5:45 and the lineup at 6

Haha, it does actually feel like a week ago since I wrote that! I miss the days where my mate would text me to say the line-up is out and I'd be like "Oh, nice one". 

Instead now I'm in a constant state of "WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!?! EVERYTHING IS A CLUE AND NOTHING IS AT THE SAME TIME!!! WHY DO I FEEL THESE FEELS?!"

It's all very stressful but great fun at the same time

 

Especially as I have proven to be a really shit Poirot and I am just living vicariously through the actual Miss Marples of this forum.

[Calvin Klein]

That BBC link is the same one as before. Quoting the instagram "yes"
